BELL.

Application filed m 14, 1924. Serial No. 725,924.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN L. YUNGK, citizen of the United States of America, residing at Hartford, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bells, of which the following is a specifioation.

This invention relates to a bell, among the objects of the invention being the provision of a device of this character which is simple in construction and which is effective in action.

While the invention is capable of many modifications, still in that form thereof which I have shown for illustration in the drawing accompanying and forming part of the present specification, the bell is made to simulate a foot ball.

The article may be made of any proper shape and of any material, such as metal, wood, paper, composition materials. It can be employed with advantage in many different connections, such as an adjunct in amusement enterprises such as college games, banquets and other things.

Referring to the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one form of the article.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal central section of a modification.

Fig. 3 is a similar view of a further modifioation.

Fig. 4 is a like illustration of an additional modification.

Fig. 5 is a transverse section.

Fig. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view.

Figs. 7 to 10 inclusive are perspective Wiews of different forms of noise-making appliances.

Like characters refer to like throughout the several views.

Referring first to Figs. 2, 3 and 4 the de vice includes in its construction a body denoted respectively by 2, 3 and 4. This y y be o met l 0 e e Wo r @01 parts position of matter. It may be covered with a covering, as 5, of leather to simulate a foot ball. The body 2, 3 or 4 is of oval shape and hollow. It has in its top an opening 2, 3' or 4 in which may be sprung a handle, such as 6 and 7, to receive a ring, such as 8 0r 9 (Figs. 3 and 4) to be gripped in the fingers to aid in swinging the body 4 to produce a noise.

In Fig 2 the noise-producing element is a bell, such as 10, which is of metal or similar material and which receives within it a tongue 11to strike the inner surface of the bell 10 as the object is swung. The body 2', 3 or 1 may have in its bottom an opening such as 13, 14; or 15.

Over the upper end of the body 2 and covering the opening 16 therein is fitted the curved plate 17 on which is fitted the handle 18 to the lower cross bar of which is threaded and depends the screw '19 which extends downwardly through the plate 17 and extends inwardly through the bell 10 having an eye 20 at its lower-end to which is swivelled the eye 21 of the hammer or tongue 11.

The construction just described is illustrated in Fig. 2. In Fig. 1 the parts which appear bear similar characters with prime marks.

In Figs. 7 8, 9 and 10 are shown various forms of the appliance and which are de noted by 25, 26, 27 and 28. In these various forms the bell therein represented may take any of the shapes represented or may be of any other nature. In Fig. 4 the bell 29 is merely a ball or sphere which is dropped into the body 1 through the upper opening therein.

What I claim is:

A bell comprising a hollow metal o al body having holes in its ends, means ex tending into the upper hole by which the body can be swung, and a bell suspended in the body by said means.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

EDWIN L. YUNGK.
